Nominations are now being accepted to find eight of Ireland’s bravest children.

Eight children who have shown extraordinary courage and bravery despite their daily battle against a serious illness or disability will receive a National Children of Courage Award when they are honoured at Share a Dream’s Gala Dream Ball.

The event, which takes places on Saturday the December 8 at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Limerick, will be hosted by Miriam O Callaghan and Will Leahy and promises to be a magical night where dreams really do come true.

Nominations can be made by completing the application form at www.shareadream.ie.

Children can be nominated by parents, doctors, nurses, relatives by writing a letter detailing the daily trauma, loneliness and fear, which is part of having your child diagnosed with a terrible illness or disability.

All eight children selected will be in for a big surprise at the end of the night, when their fondest dreams come true.
